Are you referring to Carol Carter in Manassas?

Aluminum heads such as the Edelbrock Performer RPM or the new Trick Flow street head would work fine on your engine...

 

Yes, Carol Carter in Manassas, Boss 429 Head's.

To use a Boss head on a standard 429 will require you to do more than just run the heads...for a start the Boss 429 had different rods and pistons. The pistons have a unique dome to fit the profile of the Boss head. You'll also need to buy the Boss valve covers, intake manifold, have headers custom built, etc.

Unless money is no issue with you it would be much cheaper to purchase a set of aftermarket heads like the Edlebrocks.

As Deen said, unless you have some pretty deep pockets, you would be better off with the TF, Edelbrock or Ford CJ aluminum heads. Personally, I like the Trick Flows the best. Better flow numbers than the Edelbrocks (almost even with the Ford aluminum CJ head) and still use the smaller intake port for more bottom end "oomph" only down side is TF is running about a 2 week backorder from time of order to delivery on the new heads (mine are due in next weds)

 

I think the new Ford aluminum SCJ heads are the best aftermarket aluminum wedge stock-type heads out there.

As for this Carol Carter, how much do his Boss heads cost????

 

Ok, as for now .
{Is} the block's farly much the same on 429 , 460 & Boss 429??
